I have been taking exjade since i was 13.. dose 250mg.. I have just recently started taking it again... Im getting chronic diarreah after eating. My question is does it really work? The diarreah has been getting worse ever since i started taking again after a 2 month gap.

Exjade contains the active ingredient Deferasirox, it is an iron chelator used to reduce iron overload in people with conditions that make them prone to it, such as those getting regular blood transfusions, or who have iron poisoning.

And yes, it has been proven effective.

As to the diarrhea, it may be due to the medication or a number of other factors.

Have you changed your diet recently?

Have you consulted your doctor about the problem?
